Interviews:

In our documentary we decided to interview different people who are involved with biscuits, the interviewees were a high school food technology teacher, a primary school dinner lady and an employer from Mcvities.
Each interview was held in an comfortable environment or in front of a green screen.

On the 2nd of October we went into Warrington town centre and filmed vox pop's, when we watched them back we realised that the framing was wrong and that the microphone was in most of the shots. After watching the vox pops we decided to film more so the framing was right and the microphone wasn't in the shot.
On the 6th of October we filmed a food teacher at a high school in woolston, whilst watching the interview back we realised that the framing was wrong as she was sitting on the wrong side of the camera.
On the 10th of October we went to a primary school in widnes to interview the head dinner lady there. We also started filming cut away shots after interviewing the women.
On the 15th of October we filmed a worker from mcvities who came into college, whilst interviewing them we realised the framing was wrong so we contacted the mcvities worker and arranged a time when he could come back for another interview so we would get the framing right.
On the 19th of October we re-filmed the mcvities worker against the blue screen.
